True. And I hope Sark eventually proves he knows what he's doing and that he's making the right calls, because it's not looking good so far. A losing record last season, and then this past weekend, Sark getting teabagged on national TV by tech's high school coach.

It says everything we need to know about Sark. At the end of last season, every casual fan could see that PK sucks. But Sark stubbornly chose to stick with him anyway. Now four games into Sark's second season, we're all just praying we make a bowl game. Now compare that to Aranda. As a rookie head coach in 2020, he only won 2 games. In response, he fires and replaces his OC and most of his offensive staff, after only one season with them on staff. The result? The next year he wins the conference championship and the freaking Sugar Bowl, and finishes ranked Top 10 in the country. THAT'S what ballsy leadership looks like. A leader unafraid to make tough decisions. Instead, we keep ending up with head coaches that hold on to sucky coordinators as long as they can so that when their seat gets hot, they'll have a sacrificial lamb they can throw to their bosses, the BMDs, and the fanbase to buy them an extra year or two to get paid millions of bucks to underperform relative to the blue chip talent they have on the roster. When will it end?

Gundy actually won a conference championship in 2011, and by all rights should've been playing for a natty, but the BCS gave us the Bammer/LSU 2.0 snoozefest rematch instead. He got hosed IMO. And averaging almost 9 wins a season for almost two decades in Stoolwater, Oklahoma is pretty damn impressive in my book. Have you ever seen that town? It makes Lubbock look like Vegas in comparison. Can you imagine what he could do with the talent we haul in every year? Hiring Gundy would be a home run, which probably means it'll never happen. Dammit now I'm even more depressed. Is it too early to start drinking whiskey? Maybe I can pour out a 40 over the graves of our failed coaching hires.

End zones. We seem to have trouble reaching them. And keeping the other guys out of them.

Holy shit, tech had 9 defenders in box. And that's not even counting the shallow safety, which essentially means they had TEN of eleven defenders loading the box. And Sark the "offensive genius" couldn't ascertain that you shouldn't run the football when the entire team's defense is inside the box?

I would sacrifice a chicken to the football gods to have Mackovic as our head coach right now. At least he won a few conference championships.

A buddy just texted this to me: "Longhorns have dropped to 3-7 in Big 12 games under Steve Sarkisian." Please tell me that I'm actually dead and this is my punishment in Hell.

Sark lost to a former High School coach in his 4th(!) game as a college head football coach. Fourth. Someone please tell me this is all just a bad dream.

7-5 Sark gonna 7-5 Sark. It's who he is.

Reading this thread from the beginning when the news of Sark was first leaked by FCB, to the point when it became apparent that he's the next head coach, is like observing a case study of the 5 stages of grief. At first there was plenty of denial and anger, and now I'm not sure if we are still in the bargaining stage or have moved all the way to acceptance.

Coaching is for closers Houston, you can have him back

Under Hermensa Texas isn't back

Barely made a bowl game

Mensa? More like menstruation.

Make me a sandwich bitch

How does effing Baylor keep hiring better coaches than us?

A Baylor fan I know just sent this tweet from 3 years ago to me. I remember thinking this too because I am dumb.

So our coaches don't even know the rules then. Peachy.

Mid-major Tom has completely lost this team. They played with no effort today and got whooped as a result. Fuck him.

We just lost to coach that was hired after we hired Hermensa. Great job team. Kill me now.

I fart in your general direction

Holy shit we are Uncle Rico Now I need a drink

Alright, how about "Fix your staff or pack your shit"

It's a big risk. He'll win, but he has no scruples to stop him from doing something shady. With our luck, we won't be able to squash it like Florida and Ohio State did, and he'll retire with "health problems" and we'll end up with a 3-year bowl ban.

I thought he was pre-law
